Nose
The aromatic bouquet opens with floral notes of violet and peony, mingled with aromas of small red fruits such as raspberry and strawberry, all enhanced by subtle spicy touches.

Palate
With remarkable textural elegance, this wine presents tannins of great finesse. It unfolds flavours of red and black berries, extending into a remarkably smooth, persistent and memorable finish.

Service and Storage
To fully appreciate this Chambolle-Musigny 2023, it is recommended to serve it between 12 and 14°C in its youth, and between 14 and 16°C after a few years of cellaring. Tulip-shaped Burgundy glasses are recommended. This wine is built to age gracefully, developing complex notes of undergrowth and truffle over time.

Other Characteristics
This wine is bottled without fining or filtration, which preserves its full aromatic complexity but may lead to the formation of a slight natural sediment over time.

The Elegance and Textural Finesse of a Great Chambolle-Musigny Wine

The Estate
Founded in 1877 at the heart of the medieval ramparts of Beaune, the house of Remoissenet Père et Fils is a historic figure in Burgundy. Initially a simple négociant business, the estate built up its own vineyard over the decades. Acquired in 2005 by passionate owners, including current majority shareholder Edward Milstein, the estate took a decisive turn towards excellence. Now overseeing some twenty hectares farmed biodynamically, the estate cultivates a dual identity as both haute couture négociant and producer, with a philosophy centred on the pure expression of terroir and the textural finesse of its wines.

The Vineyard
This wine comes from the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, in the Côte de Nuits. The vines flourish on mid-slopes resting on a limestone subsoil of Jurassic origin, covered with complex topsoils formed by erosion. This terroir enjoys a temperate climate with continental tendencies and an oceanic influence. The entire vineyard is farmed according to the principles of biodynamic viticulture, promoting soil health and biodiversity.

The Vintage
The year 2023 stands out as one of the hottest ever recorded in the region's history. This generous vintage benefited from particularly favourable climatic conditions, ensuring consistent yields and allowing the berries to reach an excellent level of ripeness.

Winemaking and Aging
The grapes for this Chambolle-Musigny 2023 are harvested by hand to select berries at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in open vats through the exclusive action of indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 15 to 18 months in 350-litre French oak barrels. The proportion of wood is carefully divided between one-third new barrels, one-third one-year-old barrels and one-third older barrels, in order to achieve a subtle and well-integrated oak influence.

Grape Variety
Pinot Noir (100%).
